DEGREASING WITH THE POWER WASHER
The Power Washer works best using Sears specially
formulated concentrated degreaser, 9-16421, which can
be purchased in the Sears hardware department or
from the Sears general catalog. Follow the directions
supplied
with the degreaser for the proper
water/degreaser mix ratio.
Most common household degreasers, are not formulated
and concentrated for use in your Power Washer. They
are too heavy or thick to pass through your Power
Washer and if they are diluted with water, they lose their
degreasing efficiency.
NOTE; If you do not use Sears degreasei; 9-16421, be
sure the degreaser you do use is specially formulated
and concentrated for use with this type of eguipmem.
Mix the chosen degreaser with water (1 part degreaser
to 4 parts water) to reduce the viscosity (consistency
or thickness) of the mixture.
CAUTION
Do not clean a hot engine. Engine block can
crack or other damage can occur. Waft urtlfl
the engine has cooled at least one hour.

pressor to the maximum pressure available from
your compressor not to exceed 175 psig. Be sure
the air and water controls on the power washer are
in the “Off” position.
